Doi Saket - Polansak

Just north of Chiang Mai near Doi Saket is a home that DOI has been proudly supporting almost from our beginning. The recipient of two Fund A Need projects, one for a new building that is now their home and another to finish a well and pump system. This new filter and pump system was paid for by a DOI sponsor in 2016 because the original had failed and they were hand carrying and filtering drinking water.

This home is in need a new separate building to house the boys and we are in the final stages trying to use the 2016 Auction Fund-a-Need proceeds to make it happen. DOI has partnered with this home for so long and seen this couple give so much of themselves we have a special place in our hearts for them. ​

Wow, every year I visit this home I am amazed by the maturity of these kids. This is one of several of our homes where the children are nearing adulthood. The daughter of the home leaders here is now in college. Many of the other girls are only a year or two behind.His kids have really matured, about half of the 9 there currently I would expect to be moving on in the next two years. He had a young boy of about 6 yrs that was an addition in 2014, I believe due to an older child moving out. He raises chickens for food and sport, has a great group of mostly girls and I really like his countenance.

These girls are truly precious and all seem to be filled with gods love.

DOI is his only monthly support but we know he gets other help from time to time. He lives in a village that is not far off of a main road but is still a little challenging to find and drive to. His village has a equivalent of a Bishop (pastors / pastor) named Pastor Winai. Winai travels around as a relief pastor, is a very business minded administrator and looks out for Palansak and his kids.

Special need: Palansak is praying for continued support for his oldest daughter to go to college, he does not draw a salary and does not know how he would be able to afford to cover this without some assistance. AS of 2015, his daughter has a 3.5 GPA and is a recipient of scholarship funds from DOI. If you can help with this, please contact us :)
